Add an email endpoint using CLI

Question

Hi,  
I'm trying to "add a new" email endpoint using the aws cli and I run into this error:

```
An error occurred (NotFoundException) when calling the UpdateEndpoint operation: Resource not found
```

Any help is appreciated.  
  
Below is my command and payload. The endpoint-id below is a guid which I generated.

```
$ cat cmd 
aws pinpoint update-endpoint \
			 --application-id testProject \
			 --endpoint-id "43498e83-9dae-4ce6-bb12-8e08e3699776" \
			 --endpoint-request file://newemailuser.json
$ cat newemailuser.json 
{
  "ChannelType": "EMAIL",
  "Address": "user@example.com",
  "OptOut": "NONE",
  "Attributes": {
    "interests": [
      "technology",
      "music",
      "travel"
    ]
  },
  "Metrics": {
    "technology_interest_level": 9.0,
    "music_interest_level": 6.0,
    "travel_interest_level": 4.0
  },
  "Demographic": {
    "AppVersion": "1.0",
    "Make": "apple",
    "Model": "iPhone",
    "ModelVersion": "8",
    "Platform": "ios",

  },

    "City": "Seattle",
    "PostalCode": "98121",
    "Latitude": 47.61,
    "Longitude": -122.33
  },
  "User": {
    "UserAttributes": {
      "name": [
        "John",
        "Doe"
      ],
      "gender": [
        "male"
      ],
      "age": [
        "39"
      ]
    },
    "UserId": "john_doe"
  }
}
```

Hi Brent,  
  
This worked perfectly thanks. Some followup questions:  
1. How do I verify recipient endpoints? So as to send emails to them.  
2. How do I create an unsubscribe like for a recipient when I send the email?  
3. If an email is verified in SES, can the same be used in Pinpoint ?  
  
Thanks.

Answer

Hi kmyn,  
  
It looks like you're passing the name of the Pinpoint project for the application-id parameter. You need to pass the alphanumeric ID.   
  
You can find the ID by using the get-apps command in the AWS CLI.  
  
Hope that helps!

Answer

Glad to hear it worked!  
  
If you're planning to send emails to external recipients, you have to submit a request to have your account removed from the Pinpoint sandbox. When your account is out of the sandbox, you can send email to any recipient without having to verify the address first. For more information, see .  
  
Currently, you have to create a system to handle unsubscribe requests. Our Developer Guide contains a tutorial that you can follow to set up an unsubscribe/preference management system. For more information, see .  
  
If you previously verified an email address or domain in Amazon SES, you can use that address or domain to send email through Amazon Pinpoint.   
  
Thanks,  
  
Brent
